David,

I don't know why you keep on saying this; it's a troll, surely?
haven't you caught enough fish yet?

Look, the thing about Tcl/Tk etc that makes them scripting languages,
surely, is that they make it easy to call other tools. Yet you
yourself have several times pointed out how hard it is to do that from
within Java!
